So you are on a preview version of Windows 10?  I am afraid we cannot support issues on preview versions of Windows 10.

The problem is the same with the "standard" version

Other problem with the last version of Windows (Redstone build 181102-1446)

With WindowsBlind, on the secondary screen, the fullscreen no work. I do desactivate skin for applications used on second screen. No problem on main screen

sdRohan I just reformatted my hard drive and installed Windows with the Media Creation Tool. The latest version of Windows is 1803. They suspended the 1809. As of now anyone who installs Windows is going to get the 1803 version. When I run Deskscapes both my monitors turn black and I have to unload Deskscapes and reboot to get my desktop back.

That is because they yanked it.  Many have the version I have.  But even 1803, which DS worked on just fine for a very long time, would only fortify my suspicion that something else is wrong.

Then there is something else wrong. 

While drivers and codecs are always recommended (critical) updates, it would be prudent to try the clean boot if you have not already:

Ok it works now. The problem I had was I using DisplayFusion to set my wallpaper. The only thing Fences turns off when a dream is applied. When I select a picture and choose set as wallpaper Fences return.

Edit: When I choose a picture form my Picture folder and set it as wallpaper the right click on the desktop doesn't work, but if I set wallpapers from within DS right click returns.
